After his avatar is caught and he nearly encounters [[:character:Terenyira]], he opts to head to [[:planet:Earth]] to ask for [[:character:Jeneth]]'s help.
  
-In leaving Nekenalos, however, he leaves his avatar behind in a remarkably lucid state - [[character:Ne͡ivat'va]]. Teranyina takes advantage of the situation, manipulating Ne͡ivat'va into cooperating by promising to give [[planet:Nekenalos:Tabraan]] to the [[:kavkem|kavkema]] in exchange. Teranyina learns about [[:Thread]] and begins to experiment with new weapons in Valcen's absence: a [[:planetary dark matter net]], [[:spiderling|surveillance devices]], and [[:orbital snares]].+In leaving Nekenalos, however, he leaves his avatar behind in a remarkably lucid state - [[:character:Ne͡ivat'va]]. Terenyira takes advantage of the situation, manipulating Ne͡ivat'va into cooperating by promising to give [[:planet:Nekenalos:Tabraan]] to the [[:kavkem|kavkema]] in exchange. Terenyira learns about [[:Thread]] and begins to experiment with new weapons in Valcen's absence: a [[:Nayabaru:technology:planetary dark matter net]], [[:Nayabaru:technology:spiderling|surveillance devices]], and [[:Nayabaru:technology:orbital snares]].
  
 As Valcen and Jeneth return (well after Ne͡ivat'va's natural death), their first interaction is with the orbital snares, which would have easily taken out Valcen in Jeneth's absence. Jeneth frees Valcen and patches ver back together. They begin to look for Evenatra, hoping to gain insights about the weapon that Valcen hadn't acquired on his last visit. As Valcen and Jeneth return (well after Ne͡ivat'va's natural death), their first interaction is with the orbital snares, which would have easily taken out Valcen in Jeneth's absence.

 After coming across the other new dangers, they begin to dimly understand why the world has abruptly become more dangerous - that it must relate to Valcen's last visit. It takes until Jeneth finds and speaks to Evenatra for them to realise that Valcen's avatar had survived his leaving. After coming across the other new dangers, they begin to dimly understand why the world has abruptly become more dangerous - that it must relate to Valcen's last visit.

-At this point, Valcen reveals to Jeneth that he had hoped to survive an encounter with Teranyina by allowing his avatar to live autonomously with his most important memories, but never assumed his first attempt was viable. With much effort, he convinces Jeneth it's worth investing time into. Reluctantly, Jeneth mates his kavkem avatar with a similarly reluctant Sefusan kavkem, [[character:Sanathi]]. The resulting clutch results in two viable specimen that eventually become [[character:Gazhil]] and Valcen's avatar.+At this point, Valcen reveals to Jeneth that he had hoped to survive an encounter with Terenyira by allowing his avatar to live autonomously with his most important memories, but never assumed his first attempt was viable.

-As he awakens, he realises that Jeneth is likely heading toward to [[:Mekiva]]. He insists Teranyina help him prevent the cosmic catastrophe by moving the planet under his guidance - something she agrees to despite reservations. Once the first signs of stellar tampering make themselves apparent, it turns out to have been the right decision.

Not yet endowed with a realistic option to destroy Teranyina, he combines his desperate wish to live with his equally desperate wish to get Evenatra off-planet and allies himself with the Nayabaru.+Once the chaos of moving the planet dies down, Valcen realises he has a new problem: His own mortality, that he's invading Jeneth's stellar territory, and the fine detail that Evenatra is still in danger.
